Have you thought about replacing your phone with a pocket notebook?
Continuing from my recent post about notebooks… Obviously this does not replace messaging or calls, but what about a 📓 notebook you carry around everywhere: it doesn’t have an agenda to keep you hooked. Reach for it when you would have reached for your 📱 phone.
I am trying to do this (my ‘pocket’ in my system) but so far it’s harder than I thought! I am carrying a Moleskine Cahier pocket and a Delite brass pocket fountain pen. I make an entry with the week’s plan, and then a dated entry for anything that occurs to me. I have in the back:
- A reminders page (using post-its as it is very temporary)
- A percolating thoughts page
- A blog post page
- A ledger for my spending
- A wishlist
